Paper Plate Scarecrow - Awesome Kid Craft Idea For Fall

Get into the fall spirit with this easy-to-make scarecrow paper plate craft! Perfect for children of all ages, this is one craft idea they’ll never forget.

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate
  • Tan Tissue Paper
  • Orange Cardstock Paper
  • Brown Cardstock Paper
  • Yellow Cardstock Paper
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • School Glue
  • Craft Scissors
  • Stapler
  • Black Marker

Directions:

  • First cut your tan tissue paper into small squares.
  • Put a good amount of glue all over the paper plate.
  • Have your child cover it completely, with the tan tissue paper squares.
  • While they are doing that, cut out of cardstock the scarecrow face embellishments. Think hat, eyes, nose, mouth etc.
  • Don’t forget to trace your child’s hands, so the cutouts and can become the hair of the scarecrow.
  • Once they are done with the tissue paper step, staple/glue on all the scarecrow features to finish off the paper plate fall scarecrow. I suggest starting at the top of the paper plate and working down from there.
  • Then display it proudly for all to see! #gluedtomycrafts

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
